Notes.


Telling a Single Oak.-Other Court
Notes.
A peculiarly unfortunate case was that
of Eustache French, which came up before
Judge Nelson in the United States district
court yesterday morning. French was ar
rested at Acton, Marshall county, March
Is, on the charge of cutting timber on the
government domain, taken before Commits
sioner Ives at CrookstOn and bound over in
500 bonds to await the June term of the
district court at Winona. He was taken
before Judge Nelson yesterday and pleaded
guilty of cutting one oak tree. Judge Mel
son decided to suspend sentence and ordeled
the prisoners release. French, who has
been in jail at st. Paul for about forty days,
is the father of family of nine children,
and during his fathers incarceration, the
eldest, boy OF IA years. has been obliged
10 look after the seeding of about $50 acres
of land. Judge Nelson expressed surprise
that this one man, whose offense had been
so light, had been made to suffer such Sc
we're penalty, while others who are making
a fortune from government timber go un-
punished.
HEAVY DAMAGES.
John Schmidt has brought suit against
the st. Paul, Minneapolis Il Manitoba Rail
way company in the United States district

HE HAD a GOOD NAME.
Testimony at the Fort Smelling
Court VI artial as TO Lieut.. WilcOx's


Character.
During the past two days the court
martial case of Lieut.. Wilcox has pro-
crossed very rapidly, and will be concluded
to day. After offering the plea of guilty
to the five charges and their specification he
began the Introduction of evidence as to his
previous character. SO far three witnesses
have been heard on this point and their
testimony is all to the effect that Lieut.
Wilcox has borne an enviable name in the
service. His captain has said that
he considered. him most excel
lent officer both OIL duty and
in other relations, and that he "would not
exchange him for any other lieutenant in
the Seventh cavalry" Lieut.. Devoll, of
Smelling, who has long known the accused
at Fort Meade, testified as to having money
relations with him, and said that he had al
ways been scrupulous in the discharge of
any obligations incurred. 1t is point to
be noticed that Lieut.. Wilcox has not
called any witnesses from distance but
has called only those who happen to be in
the city or at the post. The witnesses to-
day will testify as to the condition of the
lieutenant when under the influence of
liquor. Some testimony has already been
offered OH this point, and it ap
pears to be the common Judgment
of his acquaintance that while drink
ing and for some time after. he is not ac-
countable for what he does. The evidence
on this point is strong. His gentIenanly
manners, kindness and generosity have
been favorably commented upon by the
witnesses. So far it seems that the case is
totally different from those deliberate
swndles which have been practiced OH
the government, III many of which the de-
linquents have escaped unframed and have
been afterwards taken into confidential re-
lations with officers in high command.

MILLING IN TRANSIT.
The Board of Railroad Commits
siOnerS Does Not Feel Called Upon
Yet to stop the Practice.

The Board OF Railroad Commits
siOnerS Does Not Feel Called Upon
Yet to stop the practices.
An interesting letter was written by the
board of railroad commissioners to the Page
Flour mills. of Fergus Falls, yesterday, on
the question of continuing the practice of
milling in transit. The letter is formula
ton of the conclusions reached by the com
mission after conference with Northern
Pacific officials. The commission says:
The reason the commission has not made
any formal decision in the matter is that
there has been 70 complaint filed requiring
an investigation and decision by the board
upoG the merits of controversy. The board
is not called upon in this matter to suspend
the action of what is commonly called the
''long and short haul provision of the
state law (section of the act of the
last leglslature) or to adjudicate any contro-
verSy under any other provision of the act
When the attention of the board was called
to the subject by the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company and your former comnunica-
ton, we gave notice of Il time and place
where we would receive any complaint or
hear any objection to the continuation OF the
practice known as ''mlling in transit if
any such complaint any one should see fit TO
make, or should any person desire to be heard
in opposition to the continuance of the sys-
TEN. Noone interposed a complaint or as e /
to be heard in opposition. So there being
no case made before the board calling for
specific ORDER or determination between con-
tending parties, we felt called upon only TO
say in general way, and i'm such
a manner as TO secure publication
through the public press as we sup
posed, that as nobody complained,
after due and public notice, the board did not
feel called upon TO interfere and would make
no order concerning the method of doing
business between the common carriers ard
I the millers Of the state so long as it was
mutually satisfactory. We understand from
the statements of the traffic managers APP
pearing for the companies represented at the
time set for the hearing and from other
sources, that the transit system is entirely
voluntary-what is known as "fiat rate
being given the shipper in all cases in lieu of
transit, if he 81 desires. So long as this is
the case the board will probably not feel con-
strained to interpose of its own motion, but
it will not hold that there has been any such
trial or hearing as TO preclude the raising OF
the question upon complaint at any time. or
the making of an order or decision hereafter,
which the situation may seem to require.

''Well, / should remark" replied the re-
porter.
II wonder if the base ball craze will keep
up in this part of the country If the st. Paul

"Well, you can bet John Barnes will have

''Oh, recken they'll beat the La Crosse

Jim went over to see what the latest quota

Henry Hardick came prancing down Third

"Well I'll be da-da-hanged," said he;
''those st. Paul boys, individually, are first

they can't do anything but play horse. I'm

AMUsENA EMIT NOTES.

1t was an amateur company and an inn
mature performance at the Grand last night
being rather an Unsatisfactory effort of the
Minneapolis Amateur Opera company to
produce Adolph Grethen's equally I'M
satisfactory comic opera which has
been designated 1.-The Manitou. 50
In eXtenuation of the companys
failure to acquit itself with usual
credit it is fair to say that some of the
leading members of the cast. as well as of
the chorus. went off to attend wedding in
stead of coming forward to fulfill their con-
tract with the public by singing in the
opera advertised for last night. 1t is also
fair to say in eXtenuation of this delin-
quency Of the absent members of the CONF
pany that they sang in ''AIanitou" once and
were perfectly justifiable in not wanting to
sing in it again. AS musical creation
.'Manitou' is the weepingest and wailingest
collection OF discordant numbers that were
ever pitch-forked together. Its chief
merit is in being a fairly correct repfodlit .
ton of the tom tom class of music one is
accustomed to hear at an Indian war dance.

imitation OF the Gilbert and Sullivan sty e
OF composition, flew the track and pal

criticism is not intended to discourage the
amateur company. which really includes
some most excellent musical and dramatic
talent in its cast 1t is simply to shgges
to them that hereafter they be more careful
in the selection of their operas, and that if
they expect public patronage the members
must rehearse their parts and make 1t a
point to fulfill their engagements. Other
wise they had just as we'll quit the show
business.
